On February 2, 2008, Passion released a new worship project, God of This City. The CD features songs by many of Passion’s regular contributing artists including Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, and David Crowder Band. Newcomer Steve Fee joins the Passion group in God of This City sharing his upbeat rock anthem “We Shine.”
Other worship projects like those produced by WOW Christian Hits and iWorship are always wonderful, but often contain outdated worship songs. In God of This City, Passion compiles the newest songs from top worship artists featured at their yearly conferences.
In 1997 Passion began with the desire to see a spiritual awakening come to the college campuses around the nation and the world. The Passion movement, led by Louie Giglio, is headquartered in Alpharetta, GA. The Passion Team is committed to spreading the fame of Jesus Christ to millions of college students. One way Passion seeks to accomplish this goal is by producing the Passion Worship CDs.
After the 2006 release of Everything Glorious, it was hard to imagine Passion Worship CDs could get any better. God of This City quickly proved to be the best worship project by Passion to date. God of This City focuses on who God is for us now in this generation and our place in this world as followers of Christ, which is to shine His light. The lyrics from several songs carry this theme throughout the project.
God of This City includes a variety of songs ranging from Kristian Stanfill’s slow and steady “Beautiful Jesus” to the fast upbeat “Dancing Generation” by Matt Redman. Taking a break from the men of Passion, Christy Nockels’s voice beams as she pours her heart out in the song “Hosanna,” originally written by Brooke Fraser.
